Hi, Im COMPLETELY new to this world  
But I’ve always wanted in for the longest time  
Anyhow, Id like to know if its possible to somehow import in assets from 3d rendering programs like 3DS max or Maya?  
As an architecture student, Im always gonna be working with a site and a designated topography, so It’s be great to be able to import in objects from other programs

Hi AxazVoid,

You can import .fbx files into UE4 from a variety of 3D modeling software. 3Ds Max, Maya, Blender, etc. Take a look at the links below for some basic information on this.

> **[FBX Content Pipeline](https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.1/en-US/fbx-content-pipeline/)**

> Information on using the FBX content import pipeline for meshes, animations, materials, and textures.
